CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 16.-Traders in
wheat were in a very uncertain frame
of mind again today. The fears Of a
corner in May wheat caused that OPP
ton to advance to sec yesterday,
but it closed last night at S54c. This
the market opened at sole,
but the rumor was started that the
bull clique was unloading, and quite q
sharp decline to SAC followed, with |
many of the tailors who had bought |
yesterday in the expectation that the
great advance in prices had com.
menced throwing their holdings over
board. There were no outward evil
dences that the clique WAS selling any
great quantities OF wheat, and the
price reacted to 84l@84sc, which was
The closing figure for the day. A mum.
Der Of shorte covered during the de-
cline. The feeling continues to be one
Of great uncertainty as to the prospects
Of squeeze. Several large operators
made themselves prominent on the
1oor Of Change today offering TO
wager large sums OF money that no
corner would be attempted in May
wheat. Many conservative dealers,
no viewer, are inclined to keep out OF
.he market. Tine ciearingJ from the
,eaboard are light, and the receipts at
primary points continue to be small.
Corn ruled very quiet and closed a
Ihade lower. The receipts appear to
De very light. Oats were festursless.
